SUMMARY:Revealing Rock Art in Kilmartin Glen
DESCRIPTION:NON – FRAG EVENT \nThe Origins of Achnabreck: Revealing Rock Art in Kilmartin Glen\, Scotland \nAbout the talk: Achnabreck is a massive rock outcrop and one of the most extensive rock art sites in Britain. It is part of a major group of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments located in Kilmartin Glen on the west coast of Scotland. Photogrammetric analysis has brought to light hundreds of previously unrecorded carvings displaying unusual designs which have parallels in Irish passage tomb art. Many of these carvings were cut across by the later addition of cup and ring markings. Evidence for superimposition is rare at open-air rock art sites\, revealing fresh insights into the origins and interpretation of Achnabreck. \nAbout Aaron: Aaron Watson investigates Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments and has undertaken fieldwork at rock art sites across Scotland and the north of England. He is an Interpretation and Engagement Manager at Kilmartin Museum in Argyll and an Honorary Research Fellow in Archaeology at Durham University.

SUMMARY:The History & Archaeology of Peterborough Cathedral Square - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:SORRY – POSTPONED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS \nRemember the many months of disruption to central Peterborough when the Cathedral Square fountains were installed. \nThe improvement project by Peterborough City Council initiated in 2008 involved the re-laying of much of the street and pavement surfaces as well as the demolition of the unsightly 1960s “Norwich Union building” which had been home to the post office. This work provided a unique opportunity for archaeologists to observe what lies beneath the modern surfaces. An initial evaluation was undertaken in late 2008 followed by excavation and observation through to August 2010. \nThe archaeology project was undertaken by Northampton Archaeology (now MOLA) and helped flesh out our understanding of 900 years of Peterborough history. \nSpeaker: Stephen Morris\, MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) \nFREE for FRAG Members \nMore Information about Cathedral Square

SUMMARY:WALK – Norman Cross Prison - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:SORRY – POSTPONED DUE TO CORONA VIRUS \nNorman Cross Prison was constructed in early 1797 to house prisoners of the Napoleonic wars. It formed part of a network of military “depots” and with a capacity of nearly 7\,000 it had a major impact on our sleepy\, local towns and villages. \nThe 15 hectare site is to the east of the Great North Road (and now the A1) at Norman Cross\, 5 miles from Peterborough and close to Stilton\, Folksworth and Yaxley. A few fragments of the prison can still be seen\, along with a field of lumps and bumps\, and a memorial to the 1\,770 prisoners who died there before it closed in 1814. \nPaul Chamberlain is a leading authority on the prison. He will explain its history and point out surviving features in the landscape. \nThe walk/talk will take place on Saturday morning. \nREGISTRATION WILL BE NECESSARY – DETAILS TO FOLLOW

SUMMARY:Warboys - An Important Iron Age Settlement
DESCRIPTION:A 7 month project by Oxford Archaeology East has revealed continuous occupation from the Iron Age to late Roman and beyond. The 4 hectare site off Farriers Way in the village Warboys was being investigated in advance of housing development by Bellway Homes. \nThe earliest finds include eight roundhouses\, some of which date back to about 100BC. Evidence of Roman rural industry included a 4.6m corn dryer and kilns. There were also Saxon pottery and beads indicating further evolution of the settlement before it gave way to agriculture. \n“Our archaeological investigations at Farriers Way have revealed a hugely important\, and a hitherto unknown\, settlement that was occupied from the Iron Age\, around 2\,500 years ago\, and throughout the entire Roman period. What makes this site really significant however\, is that we have evidence of early Saxon occupation mingled with the latest Roman remains\, making this a rare example of the Roman to Saxon transition in the East of England.” \nSpeaker: Steve Graham\, Project Officer\, Oxford Archaeology \nFREE for FRAG Members

SUMMARY:From Neolithic to Saxon: Evolution of a North Cambridgeshire Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The A14 improvement project triggered one of the most extensive ever archaeological excavations. MOLA Headland Infrastructure employed some 250 archaeologists to dig more than 40 separate excavation areas spanning 350 hectares\, uncovering new information about how the landscape was used over 6\,000 years\, and about the origins of the villages and towns along the route. \nPrehistoric henge monuments\, barrows and cremation cemeteries. Iron Age farms.  A Roman supply depot and multiple kilns. Saxon settlements including timber buildings. The list of finds is huge. With the investigation phase completed\, post excavation analysis is proceeding on multiple fronts. This talk will provide an update on the what this unique project can tell us about the evolution of the north Cambridgeshire landscape from Neolithic to Saxon times. \nSpeaker: Tony Walsh\, Project Manager\, Headland Archaeology \nFREE for FRAG Members \nNews about the project

SUMMARY:Peakirk Unwrapped: The Archaeology of a Fen-edge Settlement
DESCRIPTION:Peakirk is known for its association with St Pega\, who reputedly founded a hermitage there and gave the settlement its place-name [‘Pega’s church’]. Whilst Peakirk’s history is sporadically-documented from the eleventh-century onwards\, archaeological evidence indicates that the area first was colonised by Neolithic folk and that there was almost-continuous activity in the heart of the present village from the Romano-British period onwards. \nThis talk unveils Peakirk’s story through a combination of archaeology\, architecture\, topography\, maps\, photographs and written sources. It also features the work of PAST [Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team]\, an independent\, self-funding group\, whose recent projects have included re-plotting the route of the Roman watercourse\, the Car Dyke\, dispelling the ‘tradition’ of a Romano-British villa\, rediscovering ‘lost’ buildings and revealing more about Peakirk’s diverse and secret heritage. \nSpeaker: Dr Avril Lumley Prior \nFREE for FRAG Members \nDr Avril Lumley Prior developed an interest in Anglo-Saxon history during her childhood in Sunderland. After accepting a teaching post in Peterborough\, in 1970\, she transferred her attention from Northumbrian to Mercian studies. Upon her early retirement in 1995\, Avril attained an MA and a PhD on historically-based subjects\, both at Leicester University. She is currently conducting research in and around Peakirk and regularly presents and publishes her findings. With her husband\, Greg\, she is a founder member of PAST [Peakirk Archaeological Survey Team].

SUMMARY:Anglo-Saxon Fenland
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologies and histories of the fens of eastern England\, continue to suggest\, explicitly or by implication\, that the early medieval fenland was dominated by the activities of north-west European colonists in a largely empty landscape. Using existing and new evidence and arguments\, Prof Oosthuizen offers another interpretation. \nHer research helps build an understanding of how people such as the Gyrwe (from near Peterborough) were organised within the Fen basin and how they made use of the land. \nSpeaker: Susan Oosthuizen\, PhD FSA FRHistS\, Emeritus Professor of Medieval Archaeology\, University of Cambridge \n \nFREE for FRAG Members

SUMMARY:EXCAVATION: Fane Road Allotments - Roman Villa
DESCRIPTION:FANE ROAD ARCHAEOLOGY GROUP (FRAG) – EVALUATION EXCAVATION \nA large Roman villa was discovered in 2011 prior to construction of new houses between Itter Crescent and Fane Road. The Heritage Lottery funded ‘Romans of Fane Road’ excavation was undertaken in 2014. Since then FRAG has undertaken further archaeological excavations on the Fane Road Allotment Site to ascertain the full extent of the building. \nThis year we will be looking to expand on the successful results of test pit 17-1 which was explored in 2017. \nFRAG Members Only\n(though members of FR Allotment Association\, and JIGSAW affiliated groups may also participate) \nIf you are interested to participate please download the application form and submit to fieldofficer@peterborougharchaeology.org. Kevin Redgate will be in touch. \nVenue\nFane Road Allotments\, Fane Road\, Peterborough. Access will be via the gate off the footpath on the Itter Park side of the allotments. \nDates & Times\nFriday (17 May 19) – Monday (20 Oct 19) from 8.00am to 4.30pm daily. \nOpen Days\nSaturday (18 May 19) and Sunday (19 May 19) 11.00am to 4.00pm (further details nearer the event). \nExcavation Strategy\nUnfortunately\, and disappointingly\, the excavation planned for Oct 18 was cancelled at short notice due to circumstances beyond the control of FRAG Field Officers. This\, therefore\, will again be the seventh season of archaeological excavations on the Fane Road Allotment Site. In addition\, the Heritage Lottery funded ‘Romans of Fane Road’ excavation was undertaken in 2014. The aims of previous excavations were to; establish the location of the southern part of the Iron Age enclosure ditch\, establish any outlying Roman building foundations\, locate and record Roman middens (rubbish tips) and establish the extent of the Roman metalled surface found in October 2015 with students of the Perse School. Last year the test pits from previous seasons that produced results requiring further investigation were revisited. This year the intent is to expand on the successful results of test pit 17-1. \nFurther Information \nApplication\nClosing date for application forms is 10 May 19; however\, applications received from FRAG and Fane Road Allotment Association members (and their families) before 26 Apr 19 will be given preferred participation. \nDownload Application Form \n

SUMMARY:Prehistoric Settlement in the Welland Valley
DESCRIPTION:The Welland valley was a focus for prehistoric settlement\, just as was the case in the Nene valley. \nArchaeologists are piecing together the scant evidence – often drawn from excavations in advance of gravel extraction which then removes all traces. Find out about the most recent research. \nAndrew Hatton was involved with the 1990s excavation at Stowe Farm near Greatford and has recently completed a review of Bronze Age field systems located along the Welland Valley as part of studying for his MPhil. The aim of the research was to place the site at Stowe Farm\, Lincolnshire\, in a local and regional context. \nSpeaker: Andrew (Bob) Hatton\, BA (Hons) Course Leader – University Centre Peterborough \nFREE for FRAG Members

SUMMARY:Samian Ware - All You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Samian (or terra sigillata) was a form of fine table ware popular throughout the Roman world in the early Empire. It is often associated with higher status Roman buildings. Potter’s stamps can provide valuable information about date and location of manufacture. \nWe are fortunate to have a specialist who can explain all about this type of plain and moulded pottery. Geoffrey Dannell has been involved in logging Samian finds all over Europe – and he can also address the presence of Samian ware at Peterborough and Nene Valley sites. \n  \nSpeaker: Geoffrey Dannell \nFREE for FRAG Members
